The draw for the second qualifying round of the Europa League visit of A.C Milan to Tallaght Stadium in a couple of weeks may sound like a dream fixture for Shamrock Rovers - and perhaps in normal times it would have been but these are not normal times.

To this day, it remains one of the greatest League of Ireland European nights.
